Integrating energy storage within power system models offers the potential to enhance operational cost-effectiveness, scheduling efficiency, environmental outcomes, and the integration of renewable energy sources.
At the consumption level, the use of fossil fuel technologies for power generation results in more carbon emissions. Energy storage enables the seamless integration of intermittent renewable sources like solar and wind into the power grid. As a result, this fosters environmental conservation initiatives while also guaranteeing stable power quality.
Energy storage can offer various electricity services, and while the best deployment location is unknown, behind-the-meter storage models can already provide a positive net value to the electricity system.
Continued research in storage valuation models and their time resolution will also contribute to maximizing the benefits of energy storage investments. Overall, energy storage presents a promising alternative and a transformative factor in the investment decision processes of the power sector. 6. Conclusions
Investment decisions Energy storage can affect investment in power generation by reducing the need for peaker plants and transmission and distribution upgrades, thereby lowering the overall cost of electricity generation and delivery.
